I finally got around to finishing Scourge by first-time SW author Jeff Grubb. Not bad, especially considering it has no pre-established characters in it. Set in the New Republic era (post-ROJ, pre-Yuuzhan Vong), it follows a Jedi Master who investigates his apprentice's death, then gets mixed up in a spice ring of the Hutts, a duo of smugglers, and a Corporate Sector commander who patrols the region. It's a stand-alone story that could be continued or end right there; nobody I'd demand get their own story or be included in the continuing EU.

I came across Scrounge by accident. Forgot or didn't know it was being released. It looks interesting.

As always, any Timothy Zahn book is bound to be good, and the Sansweet book could be awesome or terribly disappointing. The History book is how real world history mirrors the films (if I read the blurb right). I really liked the Allston X-Wing books, too.

I'm hoping DK will have a booth at C6 with some of these books featured.

When I broke down and bought an e-reader (Nook), those short stories were free, so I've read the first three of the eight. But this said in the collection book there'd be extra parts not yet published. It's okay so far.
